With regards to the onsen, didn't they imply it was part of a cooling system?
In any case, I suspect that in a closed environment like the moon colony, most of the water would be recycled anyway. So I don't see how the onsen is implausible...I doubt they throw the water away at the end of the day, it just goes back into the system again. |

For everybody who said that fanservice ruin this series? What makes me wonder is how can you still keep watching until this ep when previous eps already show that this is a pure entertainment type of show? Don't expect complex plot or anything like that. Oh, and there are women out there that have natural breasts with the size similar to Makina or Garnet. Calling it defect is an insult to the nature itself. |

There's the drunk and the sommelier, both consume alcohol. Some people are fine with moonshine and Cobra others will go for other Chateau Lafitte 1968. There's Mc Donalds and La Tour d'Argent... There's the Venus of Boticelli and Dogs playing poker... There's Serial Experiments Lain and well... If people's beliefs are so easily suspended, I guess good for them. I wish I could still believe in Santa, it's a nice belief. I was amazed with this thread. I mean pages and pages of boobs. If the story they have to tell here is so important, why so much attention to boobs? What is the point of the story? Boobs? In a sense, most likely. Unfortunately, it doesn't entertain me. It could insult me and irritate me, so I don't watch it. I just read the comments. |

P.S. BTW, Blue Drop doesn't shine with total realism either, so I find it quite weird you don't complain that the aliens look exactly like humans in the Blue Drop thread.

I said it sucked and try to explain why it sucked for me. If you like this show why are you so concerned with my opinion? As for Blue Drop. It has to do with Sci-fi as much as North by Northwest has to do with espionage. The Aliens there are a *metaphor* used to tell a love story. I think the metaphor is appropriated and very well done. It doesn't bother me at all, because the story is written in such a way that one get emotionally engaged, which is plenty enough to suspend one's disbelief. The well developed characters are more than enough to provide the story with all the realism it needs. It's so good that they can afford to put an animated character doing animation on the screen and you believe that it's a real person doing animation. Isn't that genius writing and execution? They're so sure the story is good that they can play around with the viewer's head unpunished. Micchi is as real as her drawings, and yet you believe that she is a person, because she is like you and me. The character is so well build that you can believe there's such a person like her. Not to mention Hagino, who is an alien, and you can believe she exists. You're led to believe and you pleasantly believe there is one Hagino out there. This is fiction magic, it's the beauty of great story telling. Besides, they don't need boobs to make people pay attention. They can afford to make a show without fanservice. Beat that. Not only that, but the psycho lesbian there is contained. And the characters here can't even get the psycho gayboy to shut up. |

As for Blue Drop, you should have repiled to me in its own thread or not in such detail, but it seems to me you proved my point that science fiction can be quality even without realism.

Ah, so my guess was right!
Spoiler for Toa in Ep8:
But what really makes me wonder is how Widow is tolerating the attitude of "I am just using you" from Kazuki and what if Gio agreed to return to Kazuki? Will she still follow him? |

well widow is fully aware of that imo...and i wont be surprised if she then move to jin side seen as she "likes" helping people so much
the reason why she helped kazuki in the first place was because she found his case similar to hers - and now jin has somewhat the same dilemma (but only if toa decides to play hide and seek again )

I never qualified Blue Drop as science fiction in the first place. I could quote some examples of than genre, but I feel like that would be a waste of time. As for recognizing crap, I don't need to go through a whole garbage dump to know what I dealing with. Smart people will tell you if it stinks like rotten fish, likely it is. On the other hand, it's understandable that can be comforting for some to watch a show where the psycho has the upper hand is dealing the deck and calling the shots on the hero. The hero is a noodle of a man, but he's still the hero, cause the writer says so. Cool. |

You did notice the city as opposed to the docks and surface facilities were in one or more large underground spaces? Or that one didn't need a space suit to get from the coffee shop to the spa? Or the scenes where characters look down on the city from the engineering gantries in its sky? Or the schematic of the colony during Beisen's speech? Amadeus shooting out the false sky on the inside of the spa dome wasn't going to damage the pressure seals because he didn't overpenatrate that dome let alone damage the exterior walls of the city outside. He may have compromised the dome as an emergancy shelter if the city out side decompresses but thats not the same. The same for Gio punching through the spa's ceiling. We've seen decompression on damage to surface facilities in this series during Gio's attack on the abandodned mine on the lunar farside. From the looks of the cities habitat zone the ISDA may have used a variation on Dandridge Cole's bomb inflated bubbleworld to excavate the site. If that is so the dragons are going to find breaching the habitat anywhere other than the airlocks more than a little difficult in communicator form. |

Well, you can twist definition as much as you want but in the end if you ask twenty people, chances are at least 19 will tell you Blue Drop is science fiction. The aliens being metaphors or whatever doesn't make it any less science fiction.

Now that you mentioned it, it even stains Toa's image more. She knew about that mission and yet she chose to force herself on the poor guy (Jin) by kissing him when he barely knows her and giving him hope then abandoning him after he became attached to her. Geez. But all these events are actually giving me more motivation to keep watching this series |

On the whole it's unrealistic thing, i got only one thing to say....ITS ANIME. As i said earlier they could make it so the sky is green and grass is blue, unrealistic dosent come into it, its how they portray it.
As for the onsen and rain on the moon, its clear the people complaining about havent watched the episodes properly, sinceif they did they would of seen that it's clearly artificial. At several points we even see the sky changing from sunny to cloudy in square panels. As for the entire onsen thing, lets face it, this isnt the first show to have an onsen on the moon. Hell we've had them in space ships, stations and in several even on asteroides as for Toa.... Spoiler:

Same with the computer, it's aboard the capsule that they liberated from the ISDA, and wasnt a part of him. If you watch the episodes carefully you see Jin jumping onto Gio's back and riding him without a capsule. It's not until they have to go to the moon that they go and get a capsule. Overal thogh i have to say arguing over realism with a show like this is insane, i mean come on, we're talking dragons here, where is the realisim there? Where is the reali9sm that an alien race is attacking the earth? The entire series is unrealistic, but then it dosent matter cause it's still freaking awesome |
